限时规范练(五)　UNIT 4　NATURAL DISASTERS (限时30分钟) Ⅰ.阅读理解 A (2024·安徽名校联盟高三测试)On December 23，2022，Alexander and Andrea Campagna answered a hurried knock at their door. Their home near Buffalo，New York，was struck by a deadly snowstorm，and a group of nine South Korean tourists (and their driver) were trapped. The Campagnas welcomed them in and hosted them for a weekend. What followed was a heartwarming story of sympathy and hospitality. By the end of their time with their guests，Alexander and Andrea planned on visiting South Korea. This wasn't an empty promise，either; the couple recently reunited with their friends in their home country. Alexander and Andrea boarded a ship on a 10­day all­expenses­paid tour of Seoul as guests of the Korea Tourism Organization. It was a reward for the Buffalo couple's kindness and an opportunity to promote travel to the country. The visit included a series of Korean culture as well as its natural beauty. The Campagnas went to the 14th­century Gyeongbokgung Palace，walked through Gwanghwamun Square，and generally received the star treatment. They dined at Michelin­recommended restaurants and went on private tours. This also included a mountain hike and a visit to the Demilitarized Zone. The wonderful trip was made complete with a reunion with six of the nine tourists who had come to their door five months earlier. They shared a four­course meal at a restaurant in a traditional Korean house overlooking the grand Changdeokgung Palace. There were happy tears; but most of all，there was gratitude. Everyone felt like the chance meeting was fate (命运). “To see everyone in Korea again is such a blessing，” Andrea told reporters in Seoul.“We've always had an appreciation and interest in Korea. They ended up in the right place at the right time. Now we have people we can call friends for a lifetime.” 1．What does the author intend to tell us in Paragraph 1? A．The weather conditions in Buffalo，New York. B．South Korean tourists' desire to visit New York. C．An incident before the Campagnas made their plan. D．A promise made by Alexander and Andrea Campagna. 2．During their stay in Seoul the Campagnas ________． A．were well treated wherever they went B．spent much money on the sightseeing C．travelled little but rested much at hotels D．stayed with the nine South Korean tourists 3．What's the common feeling about the nine tourists and the Campagnas?

C．Where there is a will，there is a way. D．One good turn deserves another. 【语篇解读】本文是一篇记叙文。文章讲述了美国纽约的Alexander和Andrea Campagna在暴风雨之夜收留了九名韩国游客，后来他们一家人应邀去韩国旅游，受到礼遇的故事。 1．C　[解析]推理判断题。作者在第一段讲述了Campagna一家去韩国旅游前发生的事情。故选C。 2．A　[解析]细节理解题。根据第二段中的“The Campagnas went to the 14th­century Gyeongbokgung Palace，walked through Gwanghwamun Square，and generally received the star treatment.”可知，每到一处，Campagna一家都受到贵宾式的接待。故选A。 3．B　[解析]推理判断题。根据第三段中的“There were happy tears；but most of all，there was gratitude.

There lay my house，reduced to waist­high ruins，smelly and dirty. Before the trip，I'd had my car fixed. When the office employee of the garage was writing up the bill，she noticed my Louisiana license plate.“You from New Orleans？” she asked. I said I was.“No charge，” she said，and firmly shook her head when I reached for my wallet. The next day I went for a haircut，and the same thing happened. As my wife was studying in Florida，we decided to move there and tried to find a rental house that we could afford while also paying off a mortgage (抵押贷款) on our ruined house. We looked at many places，but none was satisfactory. We'd begun to accept that we'd have to live in extremely reduced circumstances for a while，when I got a very curious e­mail from a James Kennedy in California. He'd read some pieces I'd written about our sufferings for Slate，the online magazine，and wanted to give us (“no conditions attached”) a new house across the lake from New Orleans. It sounded too good to be true，but I replied，thanking him for his exceptional generosity，that we had no plans to go back. Then a poet at the University of Florida offered to let his house to me while he went to England on his one­year paid leave. The rent was rather reasonable. I mentioned the poet's offer to James Kennedy，and the next day he sent a check covering our entire rent for eight months. Throughout this painful experience，the kindness of strangers has done much to bring back my faith in humanity. It's almost worth losing your worldly possessions to be reminded that people are really nice when given half a chance. 5．What was the garage employee's attitude toward the author? A．Unconcerned. B．Sympathetic. C．Doubtful. D．Tolerant. 6．What do we know about James Kennedy? A．He was a writer of an online magazine. B．He was a poet at the University of Florida. C．He offered the author a new house free of charge. D．He learned about the author's sufferings via e­mail. 7．What can be inferred from the text? A．The author's family was in financial difficulty. B．Rents were comparatively reasonable despite the disaster. C．Houses were difficult to find in the hurricane­stricken area. D．The mortgage on the ruined house was paid off by the bank. 8．What did the author learn from his experience? A．Worldly possessions can be given up when necessary. B．Generosity should be encouraged in some cases. C．People benefit from their sad stories. D．Human beings are kind after all. 【语篇解读】本文是一篇记叙文。文章讲述了在遭遇飓风袭击房屋被毁之后，作者受到很多陌生人给予的帮助。之后作者感悟到虽然遭遇了痛苦的经历，但是他们的爱心使他恢复了对人性的信任。 5．B　[解析]推理判断题。根据第二段中的“When the office employee of the garage was writing up the bill ...‘No charge，’ she said，and firmly shook her head when I reached for my wallet.”可知，当知道作者来自灾区后，汽车修理厂员工对他不收费，说明了汽车修理厂员工对作者的同情之心。故选B。 6．C　[解析]细节理解题。根据第三段中的“He'd read some pieces I'd written about our sufferings for Slate，the online magazine，and wanted to give us (‘no conditions attached’) a new house across the lake from New Orleans.”可知，James Kennedy要免费提供给作者房子。故选C。 7．A　[解析]推理判断题。根据第三段第一句话“当我的妻子在佛罗里达州学习时，我们决定搬到那里，并试图找到一套我们能负担得起的出租屋，同时偿还我们被毁房子的抵押贷款。”可以判断作者的家庭当时经济上有困难。故选A。 8．D　[解析]推理判断题。根据最后一段“在这段痛苦的经历中，陌生人的善良让我重新树立了对人性的信念。当你意识到只要给人们一点机会，人们就会很善良时，失去世间的一切都是值得的。”可推断出作者感悟到了人类的善良。故选D。 Ⅱ.完形填空 (2024·河北秦皇岛高三开学检测)Kevin Hyde，who has been sailing his whole life，recently invited Joe DiTommasso to Florida on his sailboat.
